I've also seen Machen, Williams, Folley, Martin & Joiner.. And guess what?
Liston was a poor mans Bruno lol..... Reason: Bruno had more heart & faced better competition...
Now.... Would I come out with that, if I opened my legs for bully boy posters?

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View PostMike Weaver was nearly 40yrs old and was working as a sparring partner for Lewis so he was totally exposed, Gary Mason was rather fortunate to beat Biggs due to a controvercial stoppage from the british referee, Michael Grant had been exposed as weak chinned by Andrew Golota so Lewis chose to fight Grant rather than the No1 contender John Ruiz who held 2 victories over Evander Holyfield, Ruiz even put Holyfield on the canvas something Lewis never came close to doing, Herbie Hide was the undefeated WBO champion and had called-out Lennox Lewis `live` on British TV for several years but Lewis wanted nothing to do with Hide, Rid**** Bowe fought Hide only after Lewis had turned down a multi-million pound offer to face Bowe, Jorge Loius Gonzalez was a far more dangerous opponent than Michael Grant and Lewis knew that coz Gonzalez had beaten Lewis several times in the amateur ranks... the bottom line is that Lennox Lewis TWICE had the oppotunity to fight Rid**** Bowe, he `priced himself out` of a first fight and refused a career highest purse the second time, simply because he did not fancy his chances of beating Rid**** Bowe.
Regardless of the questionable ratings, it was Grant, not Ruiz who was being promoted as the next big thing, and that was the fight to be made. Ruiz' main claim to fame prior to facing Holyfield was being sparked cold in a round by Tua. Lewis had already vacated the WBA belt and fought Grant by the time Ruiz and Holyfield met the first time. I'm sure if King really fancied Ruiz' chances against Lewis the fight would have happened.
Herbie Hide? Who cares? The WBO had an even lower standing then than it does now, so "undefeated WBO champion" doesn't mean a whole lot. Lewis was busy unifying the division with Holyfield while Hide was fighting Willi Fischer and Damon Reed. Hide was also a "cruiser", or does that only count when Lewis was fighting them?
So Gonzalez beat Lewis in the amateurs. Kent Green beat Ali as an amateur and Henry Tillman beat Tyson as an amateur. Lewis also beat Bowe in the amateurs but I'm sure you have a slew of excuses for that. It doesn't have much bearing on their pro careers though and Gonzalez turned out to be little more than a journeyman.
The bottom line is Bowe vs Lewis was the biggest heavyweight fight out there after their respective wins over Holyfield and Ruddock. Bowe binned his belt, reneging on a prior agreement, and instead opted to defend against two journeymen. You're the only person I've come across who seems to think that was a good career move for Bowe.

tyson vs dempsey would have been a quick but brutal fight.tyson was very elusive,dempsey was powerful,so was tyson powerful but dempsey could take a punch,so i pretty much think it boils down to how dempsey dealt with speed.i cant pick a winner?

Tyson runs thru Dempsey. Bigger, faster, more powerful, amazing combo puncher, more elusive. Mike is easily the greatest of the smaller HW.
Tyson KO 1-2.
